A bush or bush is a small to medium woody plant. Unlike herbs, shrubs have woody stems on the ground. They are distinguished from trees with multiple stems and shorter stature, and are usually below 6 m (20 feet). Plants from many species can grow into shrubs or trees, depending on the growth conditions. Small, low shrubs, generally less than 2 m (6.6Ã, ft) tall, such as lavender, periwinkle and most of the small rose garden varieties, are often called "subshrubs".

Use in park
Shrub areas cultivated in gardens or parks are known as bushes. When cut as topiary, appropriate species or varieties of shrubs develop dense foliage and many small foliage that grow close together. Many shrubs react well to the renewal of renewal, where hard cutbacks back to the "bench" produce a long, new rod known as a "stick". Other bush plants respond better to selective pruning to reveal their structure and character.
Check in common garden practice is generally considered to be broad-leaved plants, though some smaller conifer like the mountain pine and juniper are also bushy in structure. Species that grow into bushy habits may be either fallen or green.

Botanical structure
In botany and ecology, shrubs are more specifically used to describe a particular physical structure or form of woody plants that are less than 8 meters (26 feet) tall and usually have many stems that appear at or near the base.
For example, the widely adopted descriptive system in Australia is based on structural characteristics based on life forms, plus the height and number of foliage coverings of the highest layers or dominant species.
For the 2-8 meter bush (6.6-26.2 ft), the following structural form height is categorized:
- Dense foliage cover (70-100%) - closed bushes
- half-dense leaf cover (30-70%) - open open
- rare leaf covers (10-30%) - check high
- Very rare leaf cover (& lt; 10%) - open open bush
For bushes less than 2 meters (6.6Ã, ft) high the following structural forms are categorized:
- Heavy foliage cover (70-100%) - close-heath or low-cover - ( North America /li>
- Very thick leaf cover (30-70%) - open-heath or solid low bush in the middle - ( North America >)
- sparse cover leaves (10-30%) - low bush
- Very rare leaf cover (& lt; 10%) - low open bush

The ones marked with * can also develop into tree shapes.
